Ventricular tachycardia in ARVC (arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy) is typically managed by ICD implantation, with a limited role of catheter ablation. Surgical disconnection of the right ventricular (RV) has been used to control ventricular tachycardia (VT) in ARVC, but it often led to refractory RV failure due to loss of RV contraction after surgery. We report multisite pacing to recruit the disconnected RV to prevent ventricular failure.

Comparison of failure rates between full-barium and striped barium distal shunt catheters: a matched case-control study.

Department of Neurosurgery, Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Children's of Alabama, 1600 7th Avenue South, Lowder 400, Birmingham, AL, 35233, USA.
Purpose: We hypothesize that distal shunt catheters fully impregnated with barium are more prone to failure compared to distal catheters with only a barium stripe. We sought to evaluate this distinction using a matched case-control study.
Methods: Patient records over an 8-year period were queried for distal shunt revisions for fracture or disconnection (cases).

Epileptic spasms (ES) are a unique seizure type typically presenting in the form of infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) with characteristic hypsarrhythmia on scalp EEG and a preponderance with developmental delay or regression. While pharmacotherapy is the mainstay of treatment, surgical options, including disconnective or resective procedures, are increasingly recognized as viable therapeutic options for recurrent or persistent ES. However, limited data on safety, effectiveness, and prognostic factors hinder informed decision-making regarding surgery indications, timing, and intervention type.

Objective: Emergent complex abdominal aortic diseases are challenging to treat. During in situ laser fenestration (ISLF), aortic branches are covered and flow is restored with in situ fenestration of the stent graft, with promising midterm results. This study aimed to expand on the limited body of knowledge of midterm outcomes of ISLF in renovisceral aortic pathology in a multicentre setting.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurring seizures that can cause a wide range of symptoms. Stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) is a diagnostic procedure where multiple electrodes are stereotactically implanted within predefined brain regions to identify the seizure onset zone, which needs to be surgically removed or disconnected to achieve remission of focal epilepsy. This procedure is complex and challenging due to two main reasons.

Background And Objectives: The unifying articular theory suggests that intraneural ganglion cysts in the cubital tunnel arise from the elbow joint and are connected to the ulnar nerve through an articular branch. This study aimed to report our clinical experience with these cysts and our surgical findings and outcomes.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 13 patients who underwent surgery for cubital tunnel syndrome caused by an intraneural ganglion cyst of the ulnar nerve.
